Dude, That's MY Menu!

[RetailWorkhorse]

I own and run a hotdog cart. We have all beef hotdogs, smoked sausage (onna bun), and BBQ Beef Brisket.

We've set up at the Flea Market just north of Corpus Christi for the past month or so and we don't really have much in the way of competition, seeing as the other food vendors are selling Mexican Cuisine and I'm selling German.

Until now.

One of the taco vendors, in the past two weekends, have duplicated my menu. Somehow he's even gotten his hands on the same BBQ as I.

The difference is this; all my stuff has added ingredients to make it Signature to the Vardo Food Cart. So he's STILL not taking all my customers, but he's taken some of the more tastebud-dead ones.

At least the other vendors still side with me.

If you add "Ratt with Soss" you'll be covered for short sales...

[RetailWorkhorse]

I dunno, somehow I don't think that would sell very well. Well, unless it was...

ONNA STICK.

I swear, if I get one more person say "onna stick? No? Then I dunwanit" I will hurt someone.

Ever watch Jeff Dunham? :-)

Just wait, soon he'll be sidling up to your customers, trying to undercut your prices by offering a few cents less and ending his spiel with "And that's cuttin me own throat."

*Grabs Sheldonrs and shakes*

HE'S COMING TO CORPUS CHRISTI HE'S COMING TO CORPUS CHRISTI!!!!

And I can't go see him.

I was hoping someone would catch that. Actually, no, but when he ran out of Coke, he came by to ask if we had any he could buy offa us. We had sold out about 15 minutes before he asked. Which means we actually have to STOCK that stuff now. Nutz.

The hot dog by school spreads a tiny layer of cream cheese on his hot dog buns with hot dogs.

It works. Its pretty tasty and I never thought it would.

And I can't go see him.

I keep watching his Facebook announcements and am sad because even if he did come out here, I couldn't afford the tickets.

I was hoping someone would catch that.

I caught it, too, but couldn't figure out how to make a funny with it, so left it for someone more awake.

You're making my Mac & Cheese dinner sound very lame.

I was sitting there thinking "Now, how do I work that in...?" when it was taken care of for me.

[Hobbs]

how north is "north of cc"? me and my bro love our local flea market...in fact, we're going there so i can start getting supplies for my M41.

[Moggie]

What Hobbs said! Where are you, Oh Purveyor of Fine Meats and Discworld Jokes?
Because I'm bored, like meat, and am stuck in Austin this weekend.

Why the hell not?

Let me see if I have this straight. A dude who is blatantly ripping you off by adding your menu items to his menu actually had the nerve to try to buy some product off of you?

Even if you had had cases upon cases of Coke, I would hope you would have told him "no" (if you wanted to be polite) or "fuck off" (if you didn't).

Or, you could just sell it at the retail rate. With tax.

Better yet, double the retail rate. If he ran out, you could say "Well, I had to hit the store to get THESE! I'm not losing money because of you. Pay up or shut up."

[Jester]

You people are nuts.

I might sell product to a competitor, sure. Even one I didn't like. But once that competitor STOLE from me (stealing an idea like a menu is still stealing), that competitor would be dead to me, and I wouldn't sell them water if they were on fire.
